The Communist Party of Great Britain (Marxist-Leninist), or CPGB-ML, was set up in July 2004 by a group of committed communists in recognition of the fact that there was no existing party in Britain that carried a consistently Marxist-Leninist, anti-imperialist, anti-social democratic political line. It was, and is, the unshakable conviction of our comrades that only such a party can develop into a genuine working-class vanguard.
